Jeon Somi may have found her new agency!

On September 23, Sports Chosun exclusively reported that Jeon Somi has signed a contract with The Black Label.

The Black Label is a subsidiary label of YG Entertainment headed by Teddy, working with artists like singer Zion.T and rapper and producer Kush. The Black Label is based in an independent space located near the YG Entertainment building, and has been receiving the full support of YG Entertainment to work with trainees and try out various music genres.

The Black Label was contacted to confirm the reports, but a source from the agency simply stated, “We are currently in the process of checking the facts.”

Jeon Somi appeared in survival programs “Sixteen” and “Produce 101,” where she won first place in the finale and made her debut in the project group I.O.I. Since then, she has been pursuing activities under JYP Entertainment, until it was announced in August that she had terminated her contract with the agency.

I have a question when I looked up 169cm into feet it came up with 5’5.. and you said she was 5’7” which just confused me

akame

but what you said is the conversion into feet only
the height is usually converted into feet and inches….
169m is 5’5 – feet only (conversion used for length)
169m is also 5’7″ – feet and inches (conversion used for height)
don’t use google for conversion since it doesn’t know you want a height and it will give the conversion use for length instead….

Khumaira Zhadyra

My friend said she’s learning dutch. But I don’t know if it’s true or false.

Somi has a new cat named “cookie” as of August 24th, 2018. She posted it on her instagram.

Penguin Sohye

Idk if someone said already but i’m here to say it. She was also a member of a group “Unnies” a Series about making this group debut and making it comeback. (For me is like that the “series” abput this group) She was just in season 2 (if i’m right). It’s still sad that here on Kprofiles isn’t the informations of “Unnies”. This group also has 2 songs: “Shut up” and “Right?”

Yomi

Source?

TvVx

No shut up was sang by season1, jyp’ song. Theirs are right and lalala song.

Somi has a new cut named Zoro

May 1st is the set date of Somi’s debut

Edit: about her dad managing her when she left JYP, it was a rumor that he clarified in an interview for Real Men 300.
It was never true.

I didnt think she was strong enough for a solo career. She is on everything just ok. She doesnt have strong dance moves neither strong voice. So i hope she improved a lot and shows us a great mature side as a soloist.

Granny👵

But she wanted solo career so she left jyp and now she will debut as a soloist
